PrettyFlamingo
Top shop for gifts.
Buyers bought gifts from this shop and gave them 5-star reviews!
Announcement
At Pretty Flamingo you will find all the things I make, from jewellery to knitted bags and accessories to felt flowers and animals, and, of course, my paintings.
I get bored easily and rarely make the same thing twice, so you are assured of receiving an original item - even the knitted and felt pets will be in different colours, yarns, and have their own personal accessories and characters.
I am inspired by nature and love to try and replicate it's beauty in my work. I am also fascinated by making things as realistic as possible - my little pets will have a lot of highly detailed features, and my felt flowers will be inspired by real plants.
I am always willing to take on a commission if I can - don't be frightened to contact me!
All items come from a smoke free home.
Etsy have recently pushed for sellers to make their items come with 'Free Postage' for buyers in the USA and allow for this by increasing the price of the item. I will not be introducing this policy to my shop - the price of the item is what you see, and the price of the postage is an average cost of sending the item to you. Sometimes the actual postage is more than what I have charged, sometimes slightly less - hopefully it evens out. But I want my customers to see exactly what they are paying for and I wish to treat them as fairly as I can, no matter which country they reside in. Should any postage be considerably less than what I have charged, I would issue a refund. Hopefully my prices are reasonable and customers will appreciate that I am trying to be as transparent and honest as I can.
Welcome to my shop - hope you enjoy the visit!

5 out of 5 starsCaroline went above and beyond in her customer service due to a shipping snafu. The painting itself incredibly detailed and beautiful. It is exactly as pictured and described. I highly recommend her for Christmas or birthday gifts. I'll add a picture once its framed.

5 out of 5 starsVery well made and quickly shipped. I’m thrilled to have a mask with bears that I know on it, especially when of them is Grazer. Highly recommended

Returns and exchange details
I try to make my wares as durable as possible. However,
should any item break, please contact me, I will be more than happy to repair it rather than have an unhappy customer and one of my 'babies' binned! All I would require is return postage.

Payment
Shipping
In the U.K. items will be sent 'signed for' thus insuring the item up to £35. Packages of higher value will be sent registered.
If an item has been specially commissioned or requires modification in any way, you will be informed of the approximate date of sending as well as an e-mail upon despatch.
Please note that items sent to the USA, even when sent 'signed for' are taking up to 18 days. Please allow for this - I do my utmost to send items as soon as they are purchased but cannot be held responsible for the mail service's shortcomings!!
Additional policies and FAQs
If you would like to commission any item - a copy of a previous piece or something more personalised, please do get in touch. I'm more than happy to discuss your requirements and will try my best to meet them where possible.
Privacy
The only information I collect from you is what is needed for your order - name, address, payment details & any information required for a custom order. This information will only be used in the fulfillment of your order. This information will not be shared with any third parties other than Etsy and the shipping company used. I keep records of each order but these are for my own personal use and again, no information is shared or passed on to any third party.
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
